Jesé to stay at Real

Carlo Ancelotti is in agreement on wanting Jesé for his team and the club has take steps to renew the contract of the academy's star. Jesé Rodríguez (20 years old) will be part of the first team and is to be given the opportunity he has asked for and which was denied by Mourinho.

Florentino Pérez, the Spanish player's number one fan, who is responsible for finalising the deal, was travelling in Mexico when he indicated that the squad revamp is underway with the new signings of Isco and Carvajal, interest shown in Illarramendi and the confirmation of Morata, which need to be completed along with bringing Jesé on board.

All that remains is for Jesé, whose contract ends on 30 June 2014, to sign on the dotted line with Real Madrid. Club sources seem confident that the deal will go ahead. His salary will exceed ¤1 million with an increase in each of the five seasons of his contract. Several teams, Tottenham being one of them, will be watching his progress closely.

The possibility of renewing his contract with a view to loaning him out to another team had been discussed within Real Madrid in order to guarantee him more playing time, using the same strategy as with Carvajal at Bayer Leverkusen. However, any doubt on that front has disappeared following his excellent season at Real Madrid Castilla and the maturity he demonstrated during the U-20 World Cup in Turkey.
